Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars Programme

Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholarships provide outstanding PhD students with life-changing opportunities to research and study at the University of Cambridge. These fully funded Scholarships support PhD students from any part of the world, and in any discipline.

Donation from the David and Claudia Harding Foundation

The programme was established thanks to this generous donation, the biggest single gift made to a university in the UK by a British philanthropist.
